We have received another adult male of this rare species, 
shot at Bitye on 2 June, 1910. It agrees entirely with 
the male example procured in July 1905 and also with the 
type specimen from the River Gambia. It has the feathers 
of the fore-part of the crown partially edged on the sides 
with yellowish-white, a character found in all the specimens 
and showing an approach to I. variegatus. It is easily 
distinguished from that species and from I. stictithorax by 
having the feathers of the breast and upper belly dull olive 
spotted with yellowish-white, hut the spots are less regular 
than those of the chest. Two specimens, male and female, 
collected by the late Dr. Ansorge at Gunnal, Portuguese 
Guinea, appear to be immature examples of this species.

Indicator e. exilis C. Grant, Ibis, 1915, p. 434. 
Mr. Bates has sent three more pairs of this species, all 
referable to the typical form from Gaboon. 
The wings in three males measure respectively 70, 71, 
72 mm. ; in three females 67 mm. 
Mr. Claude Grant (Ibis, 1915, p. 434) has stated that 
“ the male differs from the female in having a well-defined 
white band at the base of the upper mandible and a black 
moustachial streak”; but in three specimens in the collec¬ 
tion marked in this way the sex has been ascertained as 
female by Mr. Bates, Mr. Dent, and Dr. Ansorge respectively, 
three most reliable collectors.
